Importance of Eye Health
Many people consider maintaining good physical health as one of their top priorities, but they seem to forget the importance of maintaining good eye health by using electronic devices every day. Our eyesight, being one of the most important senses, as 80% of what we perceive comes through our sense of sight, will subject to stress and injury, and can lose their full potential if not properly taken care of. There are many different types of eye diseases such as:
- Cataracts (clouding of the lens), the leading cause of visionloss
- Diabetic retinopathy (causes damage to blood vessels in the back of the eye), the leading cause ofblindness
- Glaucoma (a group of diseases that damages the opticnerve)
- Age-related macular degeneration (gradual breakdown of light-sensitive tissue in theeye)
Hence, other than leading a healthy lifestyle of exercise and proper nutrition to keep our eyes functioning properly well, consuming a diet rich in antioxidants may help. For example, taking Eyebright Complex.
